The Israel-Hamas war severely disrupted the retail environment throughout 2024. Many businesses faced labour shortages, due to military mobilisation. In addition, many international brands, including H&M and Zara, temporarily closed their Israeli stores, leading to decreased consumer confidence and spending. At the same time, supply chain disruptions have made goods more expensive and less accessible, while rising inflation has strained household purchasing power.

The Retail in Israel report offers insight into key trends and developments driving the industry. The report examines all retail channels to provide sector insight. Channels include hypermarkets, supermarkets, discounters, convenience stores, mixed retailers, health and beauty retailers, clothing and footwear retailers, furniture and furnishing stores, DIY and hardware stores, durable goods retailers, leisure and personal goods retailers. There are profiles of leading retailers, with analysis of their performance and the challenges they face. There is also analysis of non-store retailing: vending; homeshopping; internet retailing; direct selling, as available.
